Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle with an airbag module according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a motor vehicle with an airbag module is already known, according to the preamble of patent claim 1, which has at least one airbag and at least one gas generator, which are accommodated in an airbag housing, wherein the airbag module with the airbag housing can be fastened to a mounting frame which is connected to a wall portion of the instrument panel connected is.
  • the airbag housing can be placed for mounting on the wall portion and longitudinally displaceable in a holding position in which the airbag housing is positively held by the mounting frame.
  • a motor vehicle with an airbag module which has at least one airbag and at least one gas generator, which are accommodated in an airbag housing.
  • the airbag housing is releasably securable by means of at least one fastening device on at least one adjacent wall portion, wherein the fastening device is designed as a plug-in and sliding connection according to the keyhole principle.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a motor vehicle with an airbag module which can be fastened in a simple manner to an adjacent wall section. This object is achieved with a motor vehicle with an airbag module having the features of patent claim 1.
  • an airbag module of a motor vehicle comprises at least one airbag and at least one gas generator, which are accommodated in an airbag housing.
  • This airbag module can be attached to the airbag housing on a mounting frame, which is connected to a wall portion of a dashboard of the motor vehicle.
  • the airbag housing is placed on the wall portion and longitudinally displaced in a holding position in which the airbag housing is positively held by the mounting frame.
  • the airbag housing locked during longitudinal displacement of the airbag module in the holding position on the mounting frame, so that the airbag housing is secured against longitudinal displacement out of the holding position.
  • This is a particularly simple method of how the airbag module can be securely held in its holding position.
  • the assembly is extremely reliable and fast, there are no additional tools required.
  • the attachment of the airbag module via a positive connection, in which the module is pushed, and the subsequent securing the holding position, for example via a clip, thus represents an extremely inexpensive and quick way of attachment.
  • the airbag housing on at least two opposite sides a plurality of laterally outwardly projecting tongues.
  • the tongues arranged next to one another on one side are each spaced apart from each other by at least one tongue width.
  • the mounting frame has corresponding retaining elements for the tongues of the airbag housing, so that the attached airbag module is held in a form-fitting manner with the tongues by the retaining elements.
  • the airbag housing can be inserted with the tongues into the retaining elements in the longitudinal direction of the two opposite sides for attachment to the fastening frame.
  • the airbag housing preferably has at least one clip for latching, as seen in the longitudinal displacement direction, at least at the front edge area and / or at the rear edge area.
  • the clip may be favorably designed as a classic latching tongue with a locking lug, which is first deformed elastically upon sliding of the airbag housing until the latch latches in a recess or depression.
  • the at least one clip is made in one piece with the airbag housing.
  • This is a particularly simple and thus inexpensive way to attach the at least one clip on the airbag housing.
  • the airbag housing made of a glass fiber or glass ball reinforced plastic.
  • the at least one clip can be particularly easily molded by a corresponding design of the tool, the at least one clip.
  • an airbag module 1 which consists of an airbag housing 2, in which at least one airbag and at least one gas generator are housed.
  • the airbag serves as a passenger airbag, which is housed in a dashboard on the passenger side. In the event of an accident, the airbag can pass through a wall portion 3 of the instrument panel facing the passenger and unfold in front of the passenger.
  • the airbag module 1 is mounted on the airbag housing 2 in the instrument panel on the wall portion 3 facing the passenger.
  • the forces acting on the deployment of the airbag are quite high. Correspondingly high is the load that act on the connection between the airbag housing 2 and the wall portion 3 of the instrument panel.
  • the airbag housing 2 is a plastic injection molded part made of plastic reinforced with glass fibers and / or with glass spheres. It has an elongated shape with two mutually parallel longitudinal sides 4. Of these opposing longitudinal sides 4 each have a plurality of tongues 5 laterally outwardly. Each longitudinal side 4 has along its longitudinal extent a plurality of tongues 5, which are arranged at equal distances from each other and each have the same width. The distance d between two tongues 5 is greater than the width b of the tongues 5. All tongues 5 of the airbag housing 2 lie in one plane. The tongues 5 are made in one piece with the actual airbag housing 2. They are stiffened with additional ribbing.
  • a mounting frame 6 is molded on the inside of Wandungsabitess 3. The passengers always only see the outside of the wall section 3 from the vehicle interior.
  • the mounting frame 6 also extends in one plane. It serves both for fastening the airbag housing 2 and for increasing the rigidity of the wall section 3 of the instrument panel in the region of the front passenger airbag.
  • the mounting frame 6 consists of two opposite side edges 7, which protrude like a web, and whose ends are connected to each other with a transverse section 8. Of these projecting side edges 7 in turn stand at intervals holding webs 9 as holding elements, which extend in the plane of the mounting frame 6, and which protrude to the opposite side edge 7 out.
  • the distance between the wall portion 3 and the retaining webs 9 corresponds to the thickness of the tongues 5.
  • the distance between the adjacent retaining webs 9 on the side edges 7 is greater than the width b of the tongues 5.
  • Both the side edges 7 and the at least one transverse section. 8 as well as the retaining webs 9 are each stiffened with additional, one-piece molded ribbing.
  • the two transverse sections 8 of the mounting frame 6 each have two recesses 13.
  • the mounting frame is exactly matched to the airbag housing 2.
  • the airbag housing 2 are placed on the wall portion 3 of the instrument panel so that the tongues 5 of the longitudinal edges 4 of the airbag housing 2 each come to rest precisely between the retaining webs 9 of the side edges 7 of the mounting frame on the wall portion 3 of the instrument panel.
  • the distance between the inwardly projecting retaining webs 9 is too small for the airbag housing 2, here the airbag housing 2 could not be placed on the wall portion 3.
  • the airbag housing 2 Upon reaching the holding position, the locking lugs are automatically pressed by the elastically biased locking tongues 11 into the recesses 13 in the mounting frame 6 and lock there.
  • the airbag housing 2 is securely held in the holding position, it can no longer move undesirably by vibrations relative to the mounting frame 6 while driving the motor vehicle.
  • the airbag housing 2 can still be screwed on both sides with at least one screw with the mounting frame 6 after insertion into the holding position.
  • the airbag housing 2 and the mounting frame 6 on both sides in each case corresponding screw dome 12.
